Having looked through the pamphlet Third International,
March 6–7, 1919, brought out by the State Publishing House,
Moscow, 1919 (price 8 rubles), 99 pages, I impose a severe
reprimand for such a publication, and demand that all
members of the collegium of the State Publishing House
should read my present letter, and should work out serious
measures to guarantee that such an outrage is not repeated.

The pamphlet is a horrible piece of work. A slovenly
mess. No table of contents. Some idiot or sloven, evidently
an illiterate, has lumped together, as though he were drunk,
all the “material”, little articles, speeches, and printed
them out of sequence.

No preface, no minutes, no exact text of the decisions,
no separation of decisions from speeches, articles, notes,
nothing at all! An unheard-of disgrace!
